13 Vegan Jackfruit Dishes You'll Want to Eat Immediately

This vegan meat alternative has exploded in popularity thanks to its versatility and healthful, photo-ready qualities.

Jackfruit is the “it” vegan meat alternative of the moment. For evidence, how about the fact that jackfruit tacos were one of the most popular plant-based dishes at this year’s Coachella, or that its savory “pulled pork” texture works perfectly when incorporated into burritos, sandwiches, and tacos. For more proof, head to Instagram, where more than 180,000 photos are featured using the “jackfruit” hashtag. Looking at all of these pictures could take a lifetime, which is why we’ve narrowed these photos to 13 of our favorites. Enjoy!
